The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the referral from the Oradea Court of Appeal, thereby leaving the lower court without a binding resolution on the specific legal question posed. The dispute concerned the applicable legal regime for the revocation of conditional suspension of a criminal sentence, specifically whether the 1969 Penal Code or the current Penal Code governed this aspect, given that the principal sentence was imposed under the current code while the execution method was dictated by the older, more favorable law. The decisive legal issue involved the interaction between Article 15(2) of Law No. 187/2012 regarding the application of the more favorable penal law to autonomous institutions and the constitutional interpretation from Decision No. 265/2014, which prohibited the combination of provisions from successive laws in establishing and applying the more favorable penal law, with the procedural outcome governed by Article 477(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
